This one just got posted on YouTube. Pretty cool!

Check out the body roll in the slalom.

They definitely give the Legend its props throughout the vid too.

nice find.

i love my legend. for some reason, i just never liked the first gen (if you can call it that) RL's.

Nice vid...but I didn't know that the RL did 0-60 in 7.8. When I really compare it always seems like the legend is quicker. but I dunno maybe I should check. Goah. I wish they would have did one of the Legend.

I'm enjoying looking at these old Motorweeks. I'm glad someone digitized these!!! Hard to believe how expensive these cars were....or how affordable they have become.

i meant to post that a couple days ago! Good goin tyson. I had my computer hooked up to the 50" plasma when i stumbled across that.

fun to watch it on the big screen.

Yes Edify, they were very expensive for the time. We talked about that in a thread some time ago.

If you factor in inflation from those times, the RLs and Legend were something like 58-60 thousand dollars current day.
